Mersenne: Possible idea for increasing GIMPS throughput

1999-09-30 Thread Mike Bandsmer
Here is an idea that may be useful in increasing the throughput of GIMPS. In the June 1999 issue of the IEEE Signal Processing Letters, Shay Moshe and David Hertz present the article "On Computing DFT of Real N-Point Vector and IDFT of DFT-Transformed Real N-Point Vector via Single DFT". Basical

Mersenne: Re: Very Large Exponents

1999-09-30 Thread Gordon Spence
I am running the new V19 software as part of the QA program and I am tempted to devote one of my V18 machines to testing some of the very large exponents (60m+). What I would like to know is where can I get a list of the big exponents and how far they have been trial factored if at all. It woul
